I don't think it's necessarily the text books that are the issue but rather the physical act of writing your own notes.

I think it's that now people type all their notes into a laptop rather than write it down.

Yeah, makes sense. I "solved" that issue by still doing handwritten notes but then scanning them and converting them to digital notes afterwards.

That being said, I grew up in the 90s so I was never deprived of the skill of handwriting as a kid. It wasn't until apple made touchscreens popular that shit kinda went downhill
